In a video that’s exploding across social media—racking up over 4.5 million views and 30,000 likes in just two days- three stylish women in China do something straight out of a sci-fi movie: They casually step out of a sleek Tesla Model S in the middle of a busy parking lot, close the doors, and stroll away as if heading to happy hour. The car? It calmly maneuvers itself into a perfect parallel parking spot next to EV chargers, without a single human touch.
The clip, originally posted on X by user @Brink_Thinker with the caption “Some women get out of the car and head to a bar, leaving the car to park itself,” has sparked a wildfire of reactions. Part awe at Tesla’s cutting-edge tech, part hilarious memes about parking struggles, and a dash of debate about whether we’re all getting too lazy.

The Scene That Broke the Internet
Filmed at night in what appears to be a crowded urban charging station, the video shows the Tesla slowly approaching a tight spot. The three women—dressed in elegant outfits, heels clicking on the pavement—exit one by one. No drama, no hesitation. Doors shut, and off they go, chatting and laughing as the car activates its Autopark feature (or possibly an enhanced Smart Summon variant). The Tesla then flawlessly backs in, aligns perfectly, and stops. Mission accomplished.
It’s smooth, it’s effortless, and it’s the kind of convenience that makes you wonder: Is this the future, or just peak luxury?
Reactions: From “Genius” to “We’re Doomed”
The comments section is pure gold—and chaos.
One top reply quips: “To be fair, the car parked itself way better and quicker than she would have parked it. ” (Over 600 likes.)
Another: “Let’s be real. Neither of these three could have done it.” (With a meme image that’s been shared hundreds of times.)
Deeper takes are rolling in too: “In 20-30 years, people will lose the ability to drive or park a car… just like no one can drive a stick shift now, which was a common skill 20-30 years ago.”
And the memes keep coming—videos of “master female drivers” failing at parking, or historical clips joking about early “parking assist” from 100 years ago.
But not everyone’s laughing. Some point out safety concerns: One user noted the car didn’t use turn signals during the maneuver. Others shared similar viral clips of self-parking wins (or epic fails) to join the fun.
Why This Hits Different in 2025
Tesla’s autonomous features aren’t new—Autopark has been around for years, and “Actually Smart Summon” rolled out wider in late 2024/early 2025 updates. But seeing it in real-world action, with passengers bailing out mid-maneuver for ultimate convenience? That’s next-level viral bait.
In a world where parallel parking anxiety is universal (admit it, we’ve all circled the block thrice), this video taps into that sweet spot: Tech saving us from our own incompetence. It’s relatable, aspirational, and endlessly shareable.
Plus, it’s sparking bigger conversations. Are we heading toward a generation that can’t park manually, just like many can’t shift gears today? Elon Musk and Tesla fans say yes—and it’s progress. Critics worry about skill erosion and over-reliance on AI.
The Future Is Parking Itself
As we close out 2025, this unassuming clip from China reminds us how fast autonomous tech is advancing. Your car dropping you at the door and parking itself? Once a gimmick, now reality for Tesla owners.
Whether you see it as lazy brilliance or a sign of the apocalypse, one thing’s clear: The internet can’t stop watching. And honestly? We’d let the Tesla park for us too.
